AIM To prospectively investigate changes in the area of the anterior capsule opening, and intraocular lens (IOL) decentration and tilt after implantation of a hydrogel IOL. METHODS 100 patients underwent implantation of a hydrogel IOL in one eye and an acrylic IOL implantation in the opposite eye. The area of the anterior capsule opening, and the degree of IOL decentration and tilt were measu...

This article reviews clinical and optical data for three unique lens designs: the ReSTOR diffractive intraocular lens (IOL), the Vision Membrane, and the ReZOOM refractive multifocal IOL.

I previously reported the excellent rotational stability of the AcrySof toric intraocular lens (IOL) (Alcon, Inc.) in a consecutive series of my first 100 cases. Ninety percent and 99% of the IOLs were aligned within 5 degrees and 10 degrees of the intended axis, respectively, and no IOL required surgical repositioning. I compared the results in this series with those in my retrospective series...

An 80-year-old man had intraoperative loss of an intraocular lens (IOL) in the vitreous and simultaneous implantation of an anterior chamber lens. For the first 3 years his course was uncomplicated, but after this time he noted monocular double vision. The IOL in the vitreous had moved into the optic axis of the eye. The case presented here underlines the possibility of complications occurring ...

The compact, slim and high pixel mobile phone camera is highly demanded with the development of mobile phone, especially the thinner and thinner request of people. To satisfy this need, a mobile phone lens system composed of 1 glass spherical lens and 3 plastic aspheric lenses was designed with Code V. The F-number was 2.85 and FOV was 61°, the effective focal length and back focal length are 5...

To observe curative effects of phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation alone or associated with vitreous aspiration in treating angle closure glaucoma (ACG) patients with concomitant cataract. A retrospective comparative analysis of 72 ACG patients (78 eyes) with concomitant cataract was conducted. Patients in group A underwent phacoemulsification combined with intraocul...

A Nd:YAG laser photodisruption is a wellestablished tool for intraocular surgery, such as treatment of posterior capsule opacification that affects the visual function. During the intraocular procedure, called laser capsulotomy, the excitation pulse is focused several times just behind the posterior capsule and intraocular lens to create the central opening in the opacified capsule. We built an...

Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are designed for implantation for vision correction following cataract removal. The IOL typically replaces a cataractous natural lens that exhibits very high levels of light scattering. The amount of scattering is significantly reduced with an IOL, though it is rarely quantified and both the surface and the bulk of the intraocular lens may contribute to light scatter a...
